Your service provider has configured your M5122 for the service. Do
not change settings unless specifically asked by your service
provider. You can change M5122 settings with an ordinary web
browser , such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
Use a PC connected to an ETH port of M5122 for configuration. In this
case the corresponding ETH indicator should be lit.
3.1Browser management
The web configuration pages of M5122 can be accessed through the
Ethernet and through the ADSL/ATM channels of M5122. In order to
access the web management feature, the IP functionality must be
activated and an IP address must be given to the corresponding
interface.
You can use your PC’s web browser software to access the web
configuration pages in M5122. To access the web pages you must
know the IP address of your M5122 or, alternatively, the “name” that
your M5122 recognises.
Note
Before using your web browser for configuration, you must know the
IP address or the name assigned to your M5122.
There are three ways to find out whether to use a name or an IP address:
DYour service provider has given you an IP address for M5122.
DY our M5122 uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
and Domain Name Server. In this case the name is M5122.
DY our M5122 uses DHCP . In this case run winipcfg.exe (W indows
95) or ipconfig.exe (Windows NT). The IP address of M5122 is the
Default Gateway address shown by the ipconfig program.

DHCP page
Note
Use DHCP with PPTP tunneling only.
On the Local Network DHCP subpage you can enable/disable
Dynamic Host Control Protocol and set the Address ranges from
which the addresses are distributed to the DHCP clients on your
network. You can also set the Domain Name Server addresses here.
Start address is the first address in the address range. The Range size
defines how many addresses the range contains. Subnet mask is the
subnet mask of the addresses in the range. Primary and SecondaryDNSs set the domain name servers for the corresponding address
range. Lease time defines how often the DHCP client must renew its
lease. Domain name defines the domain name for the range.
The DHCP server can be enabled towards LAN and Vbridge (gateway
interface) ports. When the DHCP server is enabled, up to two scopes
(address ranges) are automatically generated and bound to Vbridge
interface. Two separate address ranges can be used if more than 253
addresses are required on the local subnet, if two non-contiguous
ranges are needed, or if an additional router with DHCP relay is used
on the local network. In Figure 11, scope (a) has been bound to Vbridge
interface. When the address ranges are not defined, M5122 uses the
default values for all DHCP parameters. The default values are:
DStart address is the interface IP address
DSubnet mask 255.255.255.0
DRange size of up to 253 addresses starting from the interface IP
address.
DDNS address is the interface IP address
DLease time is 60 minutes
DDomain name is null string
If at least one address range has been defined, then IP address, DNS,
domain name and lease time, if defined, override the default values.

4Features
M5122 can operate as a bridge between the Ethernet and the virtual
channels of ADSL/ATM interfaces.
4.1Bridging
M5122 operates as a self-learning bridge supporting up to 1024 MAC
addresses. Bridging in done between the Ethernet 10Base-T interfaces
and the ATM/ADSL interface.
4.2ATM and ADSL
M5122 supports eight ATM/ADSL virtual channel connections
(VCC). The factory default setting is one VCC with virtual path
identifier (VPI) 0 and virtual channel identifier (VCI) 100. The ATM
channel supports UBR (Unspecified bit rate) traffic shaping. The
C33874002SE_A0
E Copyright Nokia Networks Oy
19
Nokia M5122 User Manual
maximum transmit rate on the VCC is equal to the ADSL upstream
capability.
The ADSL transmission is based on the DMT line code. M5122
provides a DMT line rate up to 8 Mbit/s downstream and up to 800
kbit/s upstream. The DMT transceiver is rate adaptive and capable of
providing faster rates over short distances or slower rates over long
distances. The transceiver adapts itself to the line conditions and rate
adaptation is done in steps of 32 kbit/s. The network operator can set
the data rates as a part of the network management functionality
provided by Nokia DSLAM.
M5122 supports ATM over ADSL transmission ITU-T G.992.1 and
ADSL Lite ITU-T G.992.2. The ADSL mode can be changed through
the command line interface.
4.3Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Note
Use DHCP with PPTP tunneling only.
M5122 can act as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server for the PCs on the end-user home network. In this mode, M5122
can assign up to 253+253 consecutive addresses from two separate
address ranges (that is, 253 consecutive addresses per address range)
to the PCs on the home network. Two separate address ranges can be
used if more than 253 addresses are required on the local subnet, if two
non-contiguous address ranges are needed or if an additional router
with DHCP relay is used on the local network. M5122 can also act as a
DHCP relay agent and relay the DHCP requests to an external DHCP
server.
4.4Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
20
When PPTP local tunneling is used, a local network client initialises a
PPTP-tunneled PPP connection (VPN) to Nokia M5122. The modem
terminates the tunnel and all data from that terminated local PPTP
tunnel will be forwarded to an assigned ATM VCC by using PPP over
AAL5 encapsulation. Thus, each local PPTP tunnel requires an
equivalent ATM VCC assigned to it restricting the total number of
local PPTP hosts to 8.
E Copyright Nokia Networks Oy
C33874002SE_A0
Local tunneling is used when there is a need to have one or more
computers connected independently to different networks. For
example, in remote work application, the rest of the family may be
using the common ISP services and one or two family members need to
gain access to their corporate networks. With local tunneling, these
remote workers may be connected to a different network than the rest
of the users.
Local tunneling is activated using the PPTP client running, for
example, in Windows. The destination IP address must be M5122
LAN/VBRIDGE IP address depending on the configuration. PPP
packets within PPTP are mapped to the configured VCC. M5122 has
three different ways to choose the ATM VCC that will be used for
tunneling:
DAutomatic, chooses the first free VCC
DChooses the VCC number using C:number, where number is from
1 to 8. C:number is typed after the M5122 IP address in PC’s PPTP
client Connect To window (see Figure 1-1).
DChooses the VCC number using N:name, where name is the
VCCx description. N:name is entered after the M5122 IP address.
Figure 1-1Choosing the VCC2 for tunneling example
4.5Payload encapsulations
The Ethernet frames are encapsulated in the ATM link by using RFC
2684 LLC/SNAP encapsulation.

Nokia M5122 User Manual
4.6Weighted Fair Queueing (Class of Service)
As a Class of Service (CoS) function, M5122 supports Weighted Fair
Queueing (WFQ) for each ATM VCC. The CoS function ensures that
different IP traf fic streams are treated fairly in the upstream (towards
the Internet) direction. This may be necessary, in some cases, because
the upstream capacity of the ADSL line is somewhat limited compared
to the Ethernet bandwidth on the office or home LAN. The WFQ CoS
function classifies IP traffic streams based on IP address, protocol and
port fields. It is capable of identifying the IP stream from all supported
payload encapsulation formats.
